Do you have ABS brake system? First you want to do a manual bleed, master cylinder full and the bleed the right rear, left rear, right front and then the left front. And if you have ABS, then you need a scanner and bleed the ABS module.

I basically do it the old way, and mine all have 4-disk ABS. I just keep the cap on as much as possible to avoid moisture. I don't even have a drain kit, I have a soda bottle with the hose under fluid to avoid back-flow of air.

The only thing scary about doing your own breaks is the risk of breaking a lug-bolt or having to return pads that don't match up to new calipers..
